    Unhappy PASTEL PARTNER - RESET OF SUPERVISOR PASSWORD

    Would anyone know how to reset a password on Pastel Partner on a specific set of books. I have taken over the client but the previous accountant cant remember the Supervisor password. This is necessary in order to activate the Bank Manager on this client.
    I have approached Pastel, but they want to charge me just to reset this on their side.

    is there not an easy way I could do it on my side?

    I can crack Pastel passwords prior to V14.

    However, V14 should have a Forgot Password option - will that not help in finding out the supervisor password?

    no, not that I've come across.
    I suppose I need to just accept pastel's help even if it is going to cost me. may be worth it in the end.

    Hi Neville Bailey. Had a look at one of your post regarding the retrieval of password of set of company books.

    We currently use Pastel 2009 Xpress and have misplaced the password to access a set of company books. From your post would you be able to retrieve a password.

    Thank in advance

    Yes, I should be able to help you with that, but I will need you to send me a backup of the company, either directly to my email address (if the backup file is not too large), or via Dropbox/One Drive or Google Drive.
